Thank you for praying. I’m excited about our missionary training event last month because it marksa major step forward in reaching our goal: transforming Ukraine intoa missionary-sending nation.

In partnership with another organization, we held an informal, two-week missionary school consisting of

three trainers and 13 missionary candidates. It was significant because previously, missionary training had been limited to a one-day seminar.

The woman on the left (photo) is taking the other two women with her to join her husband in Kenya, where they are ministering to orphans. Another couple, a pastor and wife, are preparing to serve the Lord in France, and have begun studying French.

Please pray for this team’s safety as they fly to Kenya this January, 2013.
